How Redstor is leading the charge against surging malware and ransomware threats

JP Lourens posted in Cyber security | 10 Oct 2024

The cyber threat landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace. Over the past three months, businesses have been hit hard by a significant spike in ransomware and malware attacks.

September 2024 alone saw 65 publicly disclosed ransomware attacks and a staggering 392 undisclosed ones, marking it as the second most active month of the year for cyber threats1.

The current threat landscape

Cybercriminals constantly evolve their tactics, with ransomware and malware leading the charge. Businesses of all sizes are grappling with more sophisticated attacks, and while many of these threats go unreported, the damage they leave behind is undeniable.

This is evidenced by Redstor’s own internal data. Malware detection rates have doubled over the past quarter, with attempted attacks in September reaching an all-time high (all successfully blocked by Redstor). Companies that aren’t prepared are often caught off guard, resulting in costly data breaches and prolonged downtime.

Redstor’s rapid response: Blocking threats before they hit

As highlighted above, at Redstor, we’ve seen this surge firsthand. In the past three months, our platform has detected and blocked 100% more malware and ransomware threats compared to the previous quarter (see graph above). Each one of these attacks could have compromised sensitive business data, disrupted operations, or worse – demanded hefty ransom payments.

What makes us stand out? It’s not just about detecting threats – it’s about stopping them dead in their tracks and ensuring our customers enjoy clean, malware-free recoveries. While others scramble to respond after the fact, we ensure the data our clients recover is protected and infection-free, making their businesses more resilient.

Staying ahead of the game: Cyber resilience redefined

As cyber threats multiply, it’s clear that reactive measures aren’t enough. Businesses need to be proactive. Our approach isn’t just about recovery – it’s about resilience. We ensure our clients have a robust cyber posture that prevents ransomware and malware from getting through in the first place. We work tirelessly behind the scenes, so businesses can focus on what matters most – growth and innovation.

Take action

Cyber threats are on the rise, but so is Redstor’s ability to neutralise them. The doubling of our malware and ransomware threat detections over the last quarter is proof that we’re ready to handle whatever comes next. If you’re looking to stay ahead of the game, we’ve got your back with iron-clad protection that keeps your data clean and your business resilient.
